SPOON.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 256,989, dated April 25,1882.

Application filed March 2, 1882.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AMELIA O. FELSBERG, of Newark, in the county ofEssex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Spoon,ofwhich the following is a specification.

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved spoon. Fig. 2 is a sideelevation.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My. invention consists in an inclined lip formed on the edge of thelarger portion of the spoon-bowl and extending to the tip of the how],more on one side than upon the other, the object being to provide aspoon that may be used byinvalids and children without spilling itscontents.

In the drawings, A is a spoon of ordinary form having attached to orformed upon the edge of the larger portion of its bowl a lip, B, that isinclined toward the tip of the bowl, and is highest opposite the handleand tapered each way toward the end of the spoon. The

(No model) lip extends farther on one side of the bowl than upon theother, so that, when the spoon is carried, as it usually is, by childrenwith the bowlhigher than the handle and tipped somewhat to one side, thecontents ofthe spoon are not spilled.

The lip B- may be made outwardly convex or similar in form to asectionof an inverted spoon-bowl. It may be made separately and attached to thespoon, or it may be formed together with the spoon from a single pieceof metal.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent A spoon, A, provided with the lip B, when the sameextends farther upon one side of the spoon-bowl than the other,substantially as shown and described.
